I installed bannerbomb to get HBC, dvdx, and before bootmii dident work but now it works, i then used TBR and did everything it said (i thought) then I went and used cIOS38 r14 installer then I installed preloader then i rebooted and I was bricked.

thats where i must of messed up i read, If you are on system menu 4/4.1 use Wad Manager with default settings (IOS249 & SD card) to install IOS60-patched.wad i was on 3.something so i skiped it.

I may be talking through my a**e!
but as long as he has a Cios installed?
could he not load homebrew and downgrade his ios and system menu via wad installation. that he could get from nus downloader? I downgraded from 4.1 to 3.2 yesterday using wads from nus. I have CIOSv9 ( havent got a clue what it means)

Ive also had an out of region brick. U to J (i was experimenting)
i couldnt access wii settings opera style message.
i installed ios bla bla bla and system menu bla bla bla via wad
BINGO!
as i said i dont know if this would work.
wait for expert advise, as i may and am probably wrong???

why don't you wait for help? your state is possibly recovberable, if you do sth bad, you may brick it beyond repair

I agree 100% wait/ as i had brick last month, and i rushed doing this and that and the other and basically made things 100 times worse.

i have now got full working nand backups! so i can afford to mess about with my wii, fully knowing that if i break it, i just reflash my nand!!!!
I AM IN NO WAY BEING COC** IN SAYING THAT I HAVE A FULL WORKING NAND! IF I HAVE OFFENDED ANYONE I AM SORRY!
